About time and hours
What we used to define as a category of time is in fact nothing more than a chain of events, a change of states. Time is an invention, convention, speculative value. This is a kind of system of agreements created for the convenience of social communication. And the clock is a skin tool for management, standardization and unification, setting a single rhythm for all vectors, a single frame of reference.
“Any reality of the observed world is described
spatial, temporal, energy
and information characteristics.
(V. A. Ganzen, "Systemic Descriptions in Psychology", 1984)
The Vienna Clock Museum is small, almost homey. From the smallest medallions and buttons to the mechanisms of tower clocks - what is there not! Here is a picture on the wall, on it a rural landscape with a tower in the distance, and on the tower - a clock, real, running. Or a candle, and buttons are stuck into it at equal vertical distances - the candle burns out from button to button in a certain time - what a clock! A narrow spiral staircase leads upstairs, where chiming clocks are hung and placed in several rooms. At a certain moment, the chime of vociferous old men begins - the accuracy of the move from them is no longer required for a long time, they sing and all right - but how they sing!
The clock shows the time - even a baby knows it. What is time?..
What is time - I typed in a search engine, and Google instantly responded with hundreds of millions of results. And how much more material on this topic in the form of non-digital scientific and philosophical works is gathering dust on the shelves of libraries. Even a cursory glance at the entire array of information about time will take forever. The best minds of mankind for centuries have tried to grasp this elusive category.
“Time is one of the central concepts of philosophy and physics” - it is impossible not to agree with this statement of Wikipedia. The mysterious category of time has a special status. Why? Let's try to understand this, calling on common sense and system-vector psychology to help.
Time, space, information and energy are four necessary and sufficient characteristics of any observable reality. They have been accepted as a single general scientific basis since Vladimir Alexandrovich Ganzen formulated his brilliant postulate (see epigraph).
But science is science, and you and I also observe this very reality and see: here it is space. You can walk, fly, swim and so on. Here is the information. It can be heard, seen, read, transmitted. Energy - and everything is clear here. Without fuel, the car will not go, the plane will not fly, and a person will not last long without food.
And what is time? Do not touch, smell, see. It is nowhere to be found - but we measure it, and with a fair amount of fanaticism. What other measuring device do we keep with us at all times? Yes, no. We do not carry a tape measure or scales with us, do not fall asleep under the ticking of a Geiger counter, do not look endlessly at an ammeter. What can not be said about watches - we are inseparable with them from childhood to the end of our days. They are in houses, on the streets, on hands, in cars, in mobile phones, computers … they are everywhere … without them we are not a step.
But it was not always so. At the dawn of the formation of mankind, tens of thousands of years ago, there was no question of any clock. The sun has risen - rise! Let's go hunting. The sun went down - it's dark, everyone should sleep. The change in the position of the star in the sky directly influenced the changes in the states of our distant ancestor. Over and over again, the repeated changes of states slowly but surely led to the fact that our beloved ancestor gradually learned to notice more and more nuances and draw appropriate conclusions. Remember Groundhog Day? About the same. As a result, some people followed up on the invention of the sundial.
There is in system-vector psychology the concept of a skin measure - one of the eight measures of a single system. In the context of our reflections, it could not be more appropriate. The essence of the cutaneous measure is limitation. And in every sense of the word. There is also a surface that limits the internal space, separating it from the outside: human skin, lemon skin, a wall around a medieval city, and so on. And limitation as regulation, management, regime, routine and the like.
The projection of the cutaneous measure onto the human psychic sets the corresponding program of human behavior with the cutaneous vector. Don't feed bread, let me manage! Indicate (with the index finger) who should go where and what to do, regulate, order, lead: everyone should be busy, benefit is profit, do not waste time in vain, time is money. He is also an inventor - how to better adapt everything to business, make it useful. By the way, about bread - food supplies are also in his competence, but not yet about that.
The era of clocks began as soon as a leather inventor and rationalizer came up with the idea of making the shadow of a stick stuck in the sand serve humanity. Although, of course, first of all he thought not about humanity, but about himself. After all, as it was before - until you summon everyone to the hunt, how much time was wasted! And now he could easily show the muscle hunters on a sundial when they were supposed to line up to advance to the places where the mammoths were stationed. The clock is a manifold increased management efficiency, an additional possibility of regulation.
Can you imagine a modern skin manager without a watch? Do not make me laugh! The higher the position, the cooler the clock. Like shoulder straps for the military. By the way, the commander's watch is a special symbol. To synchronize watches, wristwatches … Crazy meanings!
But the watchmaker is another thing. A watch for an anal master, golden hands, is primarily the subject of his labor. Sitting for a long time in your favorite place, grinding and perfecting every tiny detail of the movement, diligent adjustment, finishing - until a completely finished product is released. This is only possible for him, no skin-vector is capable of this due to the complete lack of perseverance.
Time is felt by people in completely different ways depending on the vectors.
The anal-vector is completely turned into the past. The psychic program makes him need to choose from the experience accumulated by mankind the very important details that will be useful for passing on to the younger generation of "warriors and hunters". He is ready to endlessly sort through the events of past years, find out the details, group them on shelves, analyze. Fortunately, he was given analytical thinking and a unique ability to remember everything.
He passes any new events through the accumulated experience, “everything new is well forgotten old”. He is never in a hurry to start doing something, until he thinks over the whole process in detail. He is never in a hurry to finish until he brings what he started to complete perfection. Repair in his house can last indefinitely - "there is no limit to perfection." Digging into the past, unhurried and slow anal sexes lag behind the times, it is ahead of them. Isn't that why they grow old and bald earlier than others?
The urethral-vector, in contrast to its brother in the quartet, TIME is a man of the future tense. For his psychic, there is neither past nor present. He doesn't feel them. But he feels the future, he is directed towards it with all his essence. He is all aimed forward - beyond the horizon. The urethral measure is a movement for acceleration and development, its projection in the psychic of the urethral leaders gives them the ability to lead a human flock into the future.
Breakthrough expansion in everything - from territorial to scientific. Great rulers, commanders, discoverers of new lands, scientists who, with their discoveries, turned outdated ideas, brilliant poets, pilots going to ram with a cold head, without adrenaline in their blood. They are always ahead of the curve, in a leap, their focus on the future sets them an accelerated pace, and often they "burn out ahead of time." Burning eyes, grinning smile, “to love so to love, to walk so to walk …” They both look younger than their years and leave, as a rule, earlier.
Muscle-vector - people quartels SPACE. The concept of time is hardly definable for them; more precisely, their psychic does not separate time and space in sensations. “Digging from the fence to the evening” is normal for them, and this is no joke.
Monotony is their usual state, even and unemotional. Alpine shepherds-long-livers can be in monotony all their years, here is the key to the secret of their longevity. The impact of certain factors enters the muscle into a state of rage, turning it into a machine for murder and violence, or, on the contrary, calm it down and bring it into the usual monotony. But in any case, this happens outside the context of time.
The vector skin (the neighbor of the muscle in the space quartet) does not care about the past and the future, he lives in the present - "and after us, even a flood." He feels the causal relationship between events, trajectory, rhythm, segments - as set by his mental, as well as the ability to think logically. Obviously, thanks to such properties, he discovered and pragmatically used the very relationship between the luminary, its shadow and the movement of this shadow. Yes, yes, you guessed it, I'm talking about the first hours again.
The most interesting thing is that the inventor and the big lover of watches, the leatherworker, need them least of all. At any time of the day - even wake up at night! - without looking at the watch, he will tell you the time with an error of no more than a few minutes. And he wakes up himself a minute before the alarm clock - such accuracy in time.
Each of the brothers in the quartels of INFORMATION, the perception of time in no way intersects with other vectors. The soundman's gaze is turned through you into eternity or into himself, which is essentially the same thing. And what is our life in comparison with eternity - so, nonsense, a speck of dust of the universe. The characteristic facial expression, devoid of facial expressions, will never betray the thoughts and feelings of the sound engineer - no matter what storm he experiences inside. His psychic is focused on comprehending the meaning and essence of the single law of control over all things, he never cared about the little things of life. So, his lot is eternity.
But in the visual vector, emotions are whipping over the edge - for yourself and for that guy (sound). The amplitude goes off scale then above the upper limits in euphoria and delight, then falls below the lower ones - in sadness, sadness and melancholy. The mimicry is the richest, on the face there is laughter, then tears. And the time is exactly the same. That rushes at a frantic speed - a year of love as one instant. That drags on slowly and painfully - a second of fear is like an eternity. Where can you figure it out without a clock …
The olfactory and oralist from the ENERGY quartel do not have any special relationship with time, they are not about that. However, the watch is used regularly along with the rest.
So it's time to take stock. Common sense and system-vector psychology clearly show us the subjective essence of the concept of time. What we used to define by this category is in fact nothing more than a chain of events, a change of states. Time is an invention, convention, speculative value. This is, if you will, a kind of system of agreements, created for the convenience of communication of society. And the clock is a skin tool for management, standardization and unification, setting a single rhythm for all vectors, a single frame of reference.
How can we not recall physics with the "paradox of twins" and the special theory of relativity, according to which time is relative.
A well-known watch company has recently released a novelty - a watch with a variable speed. Yes, yes, the holy of holies - the accuracy of the move - was subjected to such a blasphemous outrage. Now each owner of an expensive model is invited to choose one of four modes - standard or accelerated 2-3-4 times. For more than 200 thousand euros, you can give yourself a little individual joy “living in your time”.
Such is the clock and time …
